AMP Encapsulin Composite

This composite part includes an antimicrobial peptide (HBCM2), TEV protease site, targeting peptide, and T4GALA encapsulin. The encapsulin is a protein nanocompartment that sequesters cargo carrying a targeting peptide. In this case, the antimicrobial peptide (AMP) is the cargo and it's attached to the targeting peptide to be sequestered within the encapsulin. This serves to protect the bacterial host from the AMP that it's producing. The TEV protease site attaches the targeting peptide and AMP so the AMP can be isolated later on in downstream purification.
